MMMMMMM, Angel Food Cake with Mango Sauce! Just look at all of that goodness. There’s something about the sweet, tender, spongy angel food cake with fresh strawberries and a mango sauce that makes your eyes roll back in your head with delight. I looooove how fresh it tastes. I love that you can actually taste the berries, cake and mangoes unlike some desserts that are so full of extras that you can’t even taste the main ingredient.
For my birthday in April I chose to have this dessert since I couldn’t have a cake with dairy. It was WORTH IT!! In fact, I think I’ll make it again this weekend. I love fresh, sweet, and simple. Don’t you?
Dairy free desserts can sometimes be a little lame or not worth the time, but this one is fresh and perfect for summer. And if you don’t feel like taking the time to make our recipe for ANGEL FOOD CAKE then you can just hop over to the store and buy one! I wont tell a soul, promise.

When cracks that form are dry and the crust is dark golden brown, tip the pan upside down resting each corner on can of equal height until cool.

How Do You Ripen a Mango?
Do not refrigerate an unripe mango; the cold stops the ripening process.
If you have already cut your unripe mango, you want to speed up the ripening process as quickly as possible so that it ripens before it rots and you can enjoy eating it.
To Ripen a mango, place it in a paper bag with another ripe fruit such as an apple or banana.

From the comments I see this is an older post. Just hope your dairy free diet includes plenty of egg whites, as you use about a dozen egg whites and sugar with a touch of flour, (and I add vanilla or almond extract),to make an angel food cake!Store bought is generally awful, both in texture and flavor, but the cake mix, is easy and outstanding if you like short cuts!
Hi Kay,
My dairy free (which was mentioned in earlier posts but I totally should have clarified here) was just cows milk not eggs as it was all for allergies my daughter was experiencing while nursing. It was a wild first year as she had so many issues with so many foods, even rice and soy! Crazy enough, just like the doctor said it all ended when she turned a year. I could hardly believe it. 🙂
